The APPEAL has for years la
bored to convince the people of Ne
vada, and especially of Carson, that
the continued practice of sending
away for goods is what keeps this
State poor. Judge c. C. Goodwin
in the Salt Lake Tribune writes an
article called the History of the
Jones Family" which is better
than all the home production
pamphlets ever published. 1t IL
Illustrates in a homely way the bene-
fits of trading at home. The man
who reads this article and then
continues to send his money be-
low is knave or fool.
Mr.. Goodwin represents twelve
brothers and their families on an
island. Each had trade, and by
patronizing each other they pros
pered.
THE DRUMMER CONES IN.
He continues: One day a
stranger landed on the island. This
stranger was of captivating address,
and in few days was a wonderful
favorite. He had a purpose in
view, and he began to carry it out.
He first asked the wife of one of
the tillers of the soil how much she
had paid for her carpets, and when
she told him, he informed her that
much more beautiful carpets could
be procured from abroad for 20 per
cent. less cost. The woman went
to see her slster-in-law, the wives
Of the other land tillers, the wife of
the miner, of the metal worker, all
except the wife of the weaver, and
the result was, an order was given
the STRANGER to purchase carpets for
eleven of the twelve homes. Then
he went to the miner and the metal
worker and explained to them how
much cheaper they could obtain
the material they worked upon
from abroad, and in secret received
from them orders for an invoice of
cotton, wosd. coal and iron. Next
he showed the men on the farms
that their clothing, boots and shoes,
bedding, harnesses and everything
they used could be obtained from
the outside at greatly reduced
prices, and they, talking the matter
over, decided that while they loved
their brothers, the weaver. the
metal worker, the miller and tan
ner, still it was a duty which they
owed their own families to buy
where they could buy cheapest, and
accordingly ordered two years
supply. So the stranger distrib-
uted his tracks among them
all. Then he adroitly explained TO
the merchant that silver was at q
discount in London. and this
brother, talking with all the others,

| except the miner, decided tina,
henceforth tLey would use only
gold as money, though there was
not an ounce on the island except
what they had originally brought
In the meantime the workmen had
been well paid; they had built good
homes; their children were In
school and growing bright and
beautiful daily, and never was there
SO happy a community before.
CHEAP LABOR INTRODUCED.
But the stranger explained to
the brothers that they were paying
81 for labor that other laborers
which he could send, would be glad
to do for forty-fve cents, and so he
was likewise given orders to send
ship-load Of these laborers. With
his orders he sailed away, and in
due time returned with the orders
filled. To pay him took all the
ready money on the island.
NO MONEY LEFT.
So when the new laborers went
to work the old laborers wanted
their pay, and there was nothing to
pay them. The farmers said, so
soon as we sell our crops we will
pay you" but there was no one to
buy their crops. 1t was the same
way with the miller and tanner,
with the weaver, the metal worker,
with the trader, with all. The
miner rendered his bullion, but
that was at such a discount that it
was not enough. Then the school
master wanted his pay, but the
workmen could get nothing to pay
him.
TROUBLE BEGINS.
In the mean time there was a
clash between the old workers and
the servile workers that had been
brought in, and numbers of
the latter were killed. 1t was the
first violence that had ever been
committed on the island. Where
there had been comfort and peace
there was now nothing but grind
ing poverty, distrust and daily
fights. This extended to the fam
lilies of the brothers; the women
took up the quarrel, and chaos
reigned.
MATTERS sENSIBLY ADJUSTED.
At last the stranger returned
with fresh cargo, which he had
bought with the proceeds of the
first. Then the brother who was
the schoelmaster, called the other
brothers together, explained to
them that all the trouble began
when they determined to each
work for himself without re-
gard to the other; that the result
had been universal loss, the de-
meralization of the community;
the introduction of crime and dis
content and general unhappiness
and despair. Then they took the
stranger who had made the trouble
hanged him to the yard arm of his
own craft, sonfscated his second
cargo; loaded the seryile workers
on his ship and sent them away;
resumed their old habits and ways;
helped each other and leaned on
cash other, made silver the only
legal money on the island, and
stranger who visited the settlement
FIVE years later, reported that he
meyer before saw community Sc
rich. so prosperous and so happy in
all his life. The only excitement
the people ever had, since the send
ing away of the servile laborers,
was in hanging a stranger who one
day landed and commenced to dis
tribute free trade tracts.

young Baron De Lorme paid a compli-
ment to the entire ~womanhood of Amer
lea by saying: in your papers I have
seen this and that lady spoken of as the
handsomest woman in America. 1t
seems to me that it would be very diff
cult for any woman to BE- designated as
the handsomest woman in the country.
The fact is, that you have so many diff
ferent types of beauty here that it would
be impossible to decide between them.
You have types of the beauty Of the
entire world. You have English beau
ties, Irish beauties, Scotch beauties, Ger
man beauties, Spanish beauties, Italian
beauties and our own French beauties.

mysteries. Don't know" was the
reply; ''perhaps she got up and built the

she did do. She finished a patchwork
quilt yesterday that she began just forty
yesrs ago this winter, when she was n
little girl of four years. The sewing is
in contrast, but not more than would be
expected. What is also strange, her
mother started her to making it forty
years ago and cut out the squares for
her, and her mother helped her draw it

FISHES Out OF the IYnfei..

There are several species of fish which
are much moro at home out of their
natural element than any species Of the
human race are In water. The climbing
perch is remarkable example found in
Asia. This singular creature appears
much like other perch, but is endowed
with an extraordinary power of leaving
falling streams climbing the banks, and
proceeding over dry land in quest Of
better filed watefA courses. Hundreds
Of them have been Men at a distance of
fifty Or sixty yards from d pool just
abandoned, and travelling. though the
ground was so rough that the distance
must have required sufficient muscular
exertion to take them half d mile over
levelgrouxd. Some writers even assert
that this fish is capable of climbing the
rough stems Of palm-trees. The fisher.
Of the Ganges. who subsist largely
on climbing perch, are accustomed to
keep them III dry northern pans fer five
Or SIX days after catching, and they live
this strange life without discomfort.
